 Using opacity and rgba colors for text colors to facilitate secondary
 colors and colorschemes is a bit hacky, and results in inconsistent
 results. It also makes it difficult to understand the color patterns of
 the theme at a first glance, which is important for anyone looking to make
 customizations or a child theme. We can just as easily calculate the
 alternate colors dynamically when generating the colorschemes, and cache
 the resulting css rather than running it on every load.

 I have a patch for this in my head, although I probably won't have time to
 write it out for a couple days. I'm also back and forth on whether it's
 worth making this change given our timeline, but I think it'll make the
 theme easier to work with and let us clean up some code.
